It’s not about where you are, it’s about who you’re with, right? After deciding to take our weekend campout in our backyard, we decided we were winners on all fronts. Minnesota campsites just aren’t as secluded as we’re used to in Utah (and even PA), and we opted this time to get an above-ground firepit and bring the campsite to us instead. It was close to the bathrooms, the playground, the fridge (for all those things we forgot the first time to the fire) – and the kids were so excited for s’mores in a bowl (they refuse to eat it all together) and to sleep in a tent that it didn’t matter one bit we were still at home. Zach had a safety around fire book (from the library) that he insisted on bringing out and making sure we abided by all the rules – yes, definitely my son. And we had so much fun that we think we just might see most of Minnesota’s state parks on day trips (although Nate and I have decided we are old and need the air mattress next time!)
